California Tint referral?

Whose name can I mention for a discount?

I got a quote of $125 all 5 windows. How much is the discount?

Is that for their regular or titanium tint? Depending on the car....regular is usually $110 and titanium is $140, some cars are a bit more work, so the prices go up accordingly. I had mine done with them and got their titanium tint for $140, I knew I could of gotten it for less, but I was the last car of the day and he put 4 guys on it. I was in and out in 30mins. Usually the wait is upwards of 2 hours....

Also they use Johnson window films. The titanium as they call it is really the silhouette line from johnson.

$125 is cheap. Just make sure the quality of their work isn't.

But then again, I think it'll also depend on where in California you are from.

tell them eric sent you.

the discount won't be that much, but it's better than none at all.

besides, that's already a super price for great work.

it's the basic "Greystone" "Premium (supposedly)" Johnson tint. I guess they use it on all cars by default cuz it has no metallic stuff in the film.

btw, for those that are confused, California Tint is a tint shop for us So Cal folks...

I tinted my car back in 2005, they charged to $140 for the "metallic" tint. This is not the reflective one. I think they have the two samples in the middle display wall and I got the more expensive one out of the two. So if they charge you $125 for the better tint, it is a great deal.

^the sample on the bottom right?

Ask for the titanium/metallic one. It's not the mirror ricer stuff. It's a metallic based tint and it has better heat rejection values.

I agree, I guess living here in the bay I had to pay twice that amount, which still isn't bad considering I got the 3M color-stable tint, with lifetime warranty, and housecall service if anything ever happens to the tint.

Does the California Tint in Rosemead carry Huper Optik or V-Kool. If so, how much do they charge?

I paid 200 for my previous coupe...


I think I'm going to the same place. They did a really good job and the Dot Matrix on my 06 Didnt turn white and creamy like some other places said it would.

But 200 is a lot!

California Tint charged $130 for all 5 windows, they got me that other tint, not titanium because i have the navi.

forgot what it's called, I know it's not 3m though, i'll let you know which tint it is, but if you go there, they will know what you're talking about

Ca. Tint..........!

I don't believe you do much better than $125 for all five windows...that's
what I paid. With 3M quality tint I was happy to get it done at that price!
